I think one to two round encounters kind of even out when you're doing a bunch of them in one game day, and mixing them in with slightly longer encounters, especially at lower levels where your hitpoints aren't quite that high (this is less of a problem in Pathfinder) and they have less access to healing spells (also less of an issue in Pathfinder).

Time-wise or start-date?

Time-wise it'd either be on a weeknight from 8-11 Eastern or Sunday evening 6-10ish Eastern.

Starting, pretty much whenever. I'd probably run Council of Thieves unless folks wanted to wait for Kingmaker.

Did you read the actual GSL at the time? Because there were other companies talking about shedding product, and i'm pretty sure I read the clause in the contract myself at the time. Do you have actual confirmation of this because it sounds liek you're jsut saying that nobody confirmed or denied it in that thread.
When this all went down, nobody outside of the WotC offices had seen the license. If you go back a page in the linked thread, user LurkingLidda is the WotC staff posting. She's extremely clear that it's a per-product decision.

This make sense when you look at how people were planning on weaseling around it. Just in that thread there's one guy talking about how he can produce dual-system stuff if it's a PDF since that's not a real product and other crazy poo poo. Wizards didn't want any dual-system material because 3e was open and had in effect become a competitor.

I was thinking more start-date. Sorry, if I wasn't too clear. The times all work for me, so pretty much whenever you're ready to roll with this, count me in.
I've only played The Crimson Throne (My group is just working through the last chapter of it, but it's been great, so far), so either one of those would be awesome.

I guess in the meantime, I'll start rolling up a character!

Probably maptools (from http://rptools.net), but I'll look into Fantasy Grounds.

OK. Let me do a bit of prepwork, then, and I'll post a recruitment thread by middle of the week.

For folks making characters: we'll be doing High Fantasy (20 points) for stats, and anything in the core book is fine. Playtest classes may be acceptable depending on how well you sell it. Traits will be in use; one from the AP and one from the basic trait document.

I don't really house-rule anything, though I'm not a huge fan of multiclassing and it'll be hard to sell me on more than two classes.

I'm willing to run Council of Thieves, Legacy of Fire, or Kingmaker, though Kingmaker won't be available until April.

Respond here or via PM and let me know which AP you'd prefer.

I'd prefer to NOT do Kingmaker since I'll be running that for my players and will also be receiving it in the mail at the same time as you, so there's no chance I'm not going to be reading it. I don't know a thing about the other APs though, so I'm open for either.

Well, no OGL vs GSL argument is complete without mentioning this for the billionth time.

What does that have to do with the GSL you say? It has to do with the attitude of the company that crafted it and what kind of shenanigans they are capable of...

I'm not saying that the GSL is unreasonable, especially in the context of copyright issues in the pre WoTC days... But leaving the OGL for the GSL is like getting married to that hot chick that already used to give up the goods everyday. It's all cool at first cause man, YOU BAGGED HER YEAH, but then she's all "you can never look at porn again" and one day, it's "Oh, by the way, no more blowjobs, ever."

maybe I'm retarded but I still don't understand what you're talking about, I mean are you suggesting that it is you, the person saying "heh women turn into harpies and won't give you head anymore when you're married" who is the manly non virgin nerd? perhaps you should explain this concept in more detail, making sure to liberally use unrelated metaphors as a way of explaining the difference between the ogl/gsl

coming into tgd to see your posting is like when you go to a big olympic game with some guys you know and you're all "hell yeah!" because they seem pretty cool and you're looking forward to catching a really good game but then one of the guys that shows up is this guy that won't stop "ironically" trash-talking the cynical corporatization of the previously healthy spirit of competition that made up the olympics and whenever you try to engage him in sane conversation he just goes "heh" and you get mad but you don't want to make a scene and the other guys are all kind of glancing around uncomfortably because nobody is quite sure who invited him or even whether anyone knows him at all but he just will. not. shut. up.

If you think only "unmanly virgin nerds" would object to an analogy between a gaming company and "frigid women", it's no wonder you like Pathfinder.

Hopefully this won't ignite another shitstorm because I'm genuinely curious, when they talked about the Pathfinder app did they mention a release date or even a rough estimate? I ended up getting someone's old ipod touch as a gift when they upgraded to a new model so I'll probably buy the drat thing just to see what kind of cool stuff it can do.

From 3.5 material:

Rainbow servant (Complete Divine, arcane caster prestige class) gets you class level/minutes flight a day with pretty pretty rainbow wings.

Enlightened Spirit (Warlock prestige class from Complete Mage) gets you a nifty set of celestial wings. Warlock itself (Complete Arcane, base class) can get fell flight at level 5 as well, which lets you zip around on a pair of shadowy wings. At higher levels of pure warlock, you can turn into a cloud of bats Dracula style.

Favoured Soul (Complete Divine, base class) grows wings at level 17 based on alignment. Feathered wings for good guys, demonic bat wings for the baddies. Possibly a bit too late in level progression for your tastes, and not an actual PrC, but if you want to do the whole divine vengeance bit, it's pretty good.

If you're a non caster... Well, wings of flying are only 54,000 GP.

The three apps are in final testing now. Then they go to the Apple store, and my understanding is that it takes some time (maybe about a month) before they are available. So we’re still looking at at least a few months before they become available.

The dumb news:

quote:

I’m also not sure if the networking feature will be part of the Live Character Sheet on launch. In the time since that keynote it’s become much clearer to me which features would be part of the app and which would be in development for later down the road, and I think the networking part is in the latter category, alas.
